INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Angleberger, Tom

To Kick a Corpse

(3) 4-6 Qwikpick Papers series. The Qwikpick Adventure Society--Lyle, Marilla, and Dave--embarks on a quest to topple the corpse of a Revolutionary War colonel who was reportedly buried standing up so that he could continue to oversee his slaves. Balancing the atrocities of slavery with preteen repartee is difficult, but Angleberger strikes an impressive balance in this fast-moving, entertaining story told through reports, notes, cartoons, and photographs.
